In the able and eloquent speech de
livered by Hon. James G. Jenkins ut
the Cleveland banquet at Milwaukee,
in response to the toast, The Great
Northwest" he deemed it not wrong
to utter word in condemnation of
the injurious and vicious system of
spoliation and commercial restriction
which for more than quarter of a
century has been maintained by the
general government to the great injury
of the whole country, and especially
that portion of it to which the toast
referred The Great Northwest Mr.
Jenkins said:
AN unfortunate policy has shack
led American enterprise and crippled
American commerce. If the congress
of the United States will but strike off
the letters that it has imposed, and
give play to American enterprise and
make practicable the building of Amer
lean ships, the sails of our commerce
will soon whiten every sea and the
starry ensign of our nationality be
flung to the breeze in every port of
the world. \ nation that is bounded
by two oceans and hath no commerce
is dwarfed and stuuted in its growth.
With all the facilities that nature has
placed ut our doors we should be the
greatest maratime nation in the world. y
These are sober words of wisdom
and common sense, and every loyal,
intelligent citizen of the northwest
should thank Mr.. Jenkins for giving
them utterance. But that noisy, ire
prsssible representative of the high
tariff league and ever-ready champion
of the so.called protective system.
John W. Hinton is enraged because Mr..
Jenkins saw fit to talk plainly and
intelligently upon a matter of most
vital Importance to the subject which
had in hand, and accuses him of making
ing free trade democratic speech ut n
time when he should have been entirely
non bipartisan. If it is partisanship to
say that the unfortunate policy which
goes by the name of protection has
shackled American enterprise and
crippled American commerce." it is
the partisanship which is taught in
every college and university worthy
the name throughout the land. Mr..
Hinton and other worshipers at the
shrine of high tariff taxation are wei
come to make the most of it. If the
people of the northwest would only
give the tariff question the attention
which its Importance demands, and
fully investigate it, they would lay
aside all partisanship, and with one
acclaim demand that congress forth
with "strike off the letters which it
has imposed" 1t is not partisanship,
but patriotism, pure and undefiled, to
demand greater commercial freedom.

Friday, October II, 1887.

Judge H. r. Elicit, who made the
welcoming address to President Cleve-
land at Memphis on Saturday last,
died on the stand before the ceremo-
MES were over. Although nearly
eighty years of age he was a well pre-
served man, but stood with his head
uncovered in an exposed point and
was overcome by the heat. Dr.. Bry-
ant and Col. Villas caught him as he
was in the act of falling to the plat.
form At first it was thought he had
only tainted, but when it became
known that he was dead all further
exercises were abandoned. Judge
Elicit was greatly beloved by his fel-
low townsmen and the people gener,
ally throughout Tennessee.

Fires at Brodhead.

The village of Brodhead, Green
county has lately had a large number
of fires which We're evidently started
by incendiarieS. Four of these fires
were reported i'll the Independent of
last week as follows:
On Thursday evening an alarm of
fire was sounded about $50 o'clock.
1t was raining at the time, but the fire
made Roadway and proved to be in the
brick barn belonging to Mr.. Justus
Bowen, vacated only few days before
by Mr.. Jesse Straw. Fortunately there
was nothing of value in the barn and
and the hook and ladder boys soon
pushed the walls in and the fire did not
spread although there was same fear
of it at first.
Sunday morning people were reused
from their beds about half past five
o'clock, by the cry of fire. 1t was the
large barn on the premises known as
the Glider place." south of the track
and now owned by Mr.. H. NJ Shorb.
Mr.. Shorb had stored there his hand
some double carriage, two buggies and
four cutters were destroyed.
On Monday evening, the hay in the
barn just back of Dedrick's restaurant
in the Macomber building, on Centre
street, was found to be in flames, but
was eXtinguished without giving any
general alarm.
On Wednesday, at the witching hour
of midnight, the alarm bell again
sounded, and this time it was the Tan
merry which became prey to the flames
The building which was entirly con-
sumed, was owned by Mr.. Pierce, of
the town of Center, and was insured.
MeSsrS. Harvey, of Brodhead and
Hastings, of Footville, who were car
rying on the business, saved about
800 worth of stock; and $500 worth
of furs and other goods in the second
story were destroyed They carried
$400 insurance. Mr.. E. Adams had
his painting apparatus, ropes, ladders,
etc, stored there and they were de-
stroyed, with sundry other property in
Guiding score of chickens. Mr.. Har-
Vey in attempting to save some rope
in the scond story, became blinded by
smoke, and had he not been rescued
promptly, would have lost his life.
Evidently some one intends to save
Brodhead SO as by fire.
